      1. This fine @AdamSerwer twitter essay got me thinking about the fatal narrowness of the Star Wars movies https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/679449234513465348 …

      2. It might seem silly to call the Star Wars movies narrow -- they're about a galactic civil war. But in one particular way they are narrow

      3. All 7 Star Wars movies so far are really about one family, the Skywalkers. Everything is mediated through that family saga.

      4. So you have a rich, complex universe with many civilizations & types of aliens, but it's really story of one family that is threadline

      5. Outside of movies -- in novels, RPGs, etc. -- there is move away from Skywalker clan to larger universe.

      6. But I think movies themselves would do well to move beyond the Skywalker saga. Why not a stand-alone movie about droid rebellion?

      7. So there will be Star Wars stand-alone movies, I'm told. All to the good. Should ideally be diverse. A romantic comedy, a heist caper,etc

          @HeerJeet but when Lucas tried to address the Galaxy as a whole, his storytelling impulses failed him and we ended up with "Phantom Menace"…

          @HeerJeet … "Star Wars" works best when narrative is grounded in personal stories. I'd love to see a heist, romance, etc! Skywalkers or no

          @HeerJeet the very first one is supposed to be a heist caper, but I can’t imagine why anyone would need a Star Wars romcom

          @HeerJeet The less the stand alone movies have to do with the Jedi the better, I think.

          @HeerJeet The first one is exactly a heist caper, it's the story of the people who stole the Death Star plans from Episode IV.

          @HeerJeet Second is supposed to be a young Han Solo movie, so Indiana Jones in space, I guess.

          .@HeerJeet Cap 2 is a spy thriller! Ant-Man is a heist comedy! Guardians of the Galaxy's a space opera! Then why are they all the same film?
